No Jolie for third 'Tomb Raider' film

Lara Croft is set to raid more tombs on the big screen, but without the assistance of Angelina Jolie.

Warner Brothers have announced that the character is to be revamped for a third film.

Speculation will now turn to who is being lined up to don the tight top and short shorts associated with the role.

Lara Croft surfaced as a video-game heroine in 1996 and has since gone on to become a global franchise.

Angelina played the swashbuckler in two films which took an estimated US$432m (€328.7m) in ticket sales worldwide.
